2021 Toyota Hilux Arrives In The UK To Show Other Pickup Trucks How It’s Done

Toyota will start accepting pre-orders for the facelifted Hilux in the United Kingdom on September 1, prior to the opening of the order books two months later.

For now, customers will have to limit their choices to the two range-topping grades dubbed the Invincible and Invincible X, in the double cab body style, with the lesser Active and Icon set to join the lineup at a later date.

The Hilux Invincible starts at £34,925 (equal to $45,746) and is offered with the 148 HP (150 PS / 110 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque 2.4-liter diesel that’s mated to a six-speed manual transmission as standard. The six-speed auto is a £1,500 ($1,965) option, while the new 2.8-liter diesel, rated at 201 HP (204 PS / 150 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm), is priced from £35,400 ($46,368) with the manual and £36,900 ($48,333) with the automatic gearbox.
